Stucco is a type of siding that is made from a mixture of sand and cement that can last over 50 years if installed properly and is well-maintained. This type of siding is expensive to install and requires a lot of maintenance to avoid any potential water damage and mold issues that can accor behind the stucco. This is why it is recommended that stucco is used in warm or dryer climates

Vinyl siding has become the most popular choice due to the variety of colors and styles that it comes in, while also being the most inexpensive option. The downside to vinyl is that it can be expensive to replace if there is any damage. Most damages involve removing the entire side of siding and replacing it. This siding works best in any environment.
